Speaking as someone whose completed the National Dex in both White & Black, grinding really isn't that much of an issue.
Lucky eggs, new exp system, the pass powers (now purchasable independently apparently??) it all goes by pretty quick

unless of course this is like RS regice where you're supposed to just stand there for 5 minutes

You have to stand in the center of the circular pattern, them move 6 steps down and 9 steps right and press A. Perhaps pressing A was what you were missing? I know that's what I missed when I first did it.

One thing I like about the Memory Link is that it displays my old certificates for completing the Unova and National Pokédex in the first game. Sitting there so nicely in my old room. Too bad I can't have four. :3

On today’s episode of Pokémon Smash it was revealed that Pokémon Dream Radar has hidden commands that can be entered in order to unlock some new Pokémon. They gave two examples, both of which were already obtainable already in some form (Dream World). NL said that he believe the episode said there were 7 total, 5 of which are unrevealed as of now. These commands need to be be entered on the menu screen:

Also, I'm officially in love with the gyms of BW2. The first gym is just so lovely and generic. Just the way I imagine it when I hear the words "Pokémon Gym": The wardrobes. The classroom. A large sand-covered back yard where battle courts are marked (they even added rakes to level the sand after use!). The spectator stands. The floodlights. Benches with toppled bottles of energy drink. The Gym Leader's stand, overlooking the courts. This is a place where Pokémon and trainers are trained. It's not just a building in which a strong trainer waits for random challengers to pass by.

The second... not a big, fancy building, but a beat-down club in the port area of Virbank. A worn locale in which a band practises their songs... and DOGARS!

It goes on and on. Oh, and the music. The lovely music, slightly different from Gym to Gym. I especially love the themes of the gyms in Mistralton and Driftveil.

I'm not sure if this goes here, but I'll post it just in case.
Movie 15 seems to really love having Kyurem using Flamethrower in all of its forme. Yes, even Kyurem-B.
I mean, just look at the pictures here: http://www.pocketmonsters.net/ib/threads/3072

It seems a bit too much to be a mere anime inconsistency, so either Kyurem being able to use Flamethrower in all its formes (and, indeed, being able to use that move at all) has something to do with the plot or they're going to release an event Kyurem with said move available (and most likely Wild Charge or Thunderbolt). I hope it's the latter so Kyurem-B can get past Ferrothorn and Forretress more easily.

Either way, this means that GF has broken the "Zekrom/Kyurem-B and Reshiram/Kyurem-W must never use fire and electric attacks, respectively" taboo. I wodnder where this is going to lead to.

Unless this is Kyurem's version of DragonBreath.
Even in the anime, T R O L L F R E A K

well it sounds like it doesn't take that long to get to Landorus, at least
if you don't actively grind through 800 orbs you could probably get there in a few days

But I didn't plan on playing to get Tornadus/Thundurus/Landorus until I felt comfortable enough RNGing for them (Tornadus at least, anyway. I don't have an RNG'd one of those at all.) So probably not until after I clear the Main Story... which is too late to use Metagross during the main story.
